It seems that I have been more dramatically affect
2、ed by certain kinds of travel experiences than I ever have.My trip to Iceland is a fine example of that. The plan was to spend two days in a remote mountain hut in Iceland. I was working on a photographic book about winter in Iceland and needed to capture images of this amazing region of high mounta
3、in peaks, smoky volcanoes, and lakes with floating icebergs.The moment after we arrived, the weather turned extreme making visibility impossible. It snowed so much and the wind blew so hard that we couldnt leave the tiny hut. To stay warm, we walked around in circles much of the day inside the tiny
4、hut. We tried to call for help but the radio did not work. Day after day, we watched our supplies of food and fuel grow dangerously short. We got acute cabin fever (幽居病) and started going for walks and ski expeditions outside. Even when the weather finally broke, nobody came to get us even though it
5、 was three days beyond our scheduled pickup. By the time the rescue team came to pull us out, we had all given up hope. From then on, the world looks different to me, as does my life. It would have taken me years of psychotherapy to get to the same point.Almost everyone has a story to tell, and inte
6、restingly, most of these experiences were not altogether pleasant at the time. In fact, it appears that the most constructive life-changing journeys were those that involved some sorts of awful and uncomfortable events that forced the person to develop new resources, increase confidence, and solve p

10、 lot.C. The travellers were so depressed that they needed psychotherapy.D. Awful journeys may become life-changing events that inspire people.BWell, parents, surprise! Lots of us are using Twitter and Facebook to thumb rides, and not just to school. Its awkward to be refused when you call a friend a
11、nd ask for a ride. But with Twitter, you just look for other people heading the same way. It may sound risky, so many teens stay within their own social circles to find rides, and dont branch out beyond friends when asking on Twitter just like me, but to some young people, especially those taking lo
12、nger trips, stranger danger is less of a concern.“I think the digital connection of young people is really key, because younger generations grew up sharing things on line, sharing files, photos, music, etc, so theyve been very used to sharing,” said Juliet Schor, a sociology professor at Boston Coll
13、ege. The sharing economy got big during the recession (经济衰退), allowing people to access 3more goods, services using technology and even to share costs. And that technology, for me, is what the car was for my mom, a gateway to more freedom, like what my friend Earl says, “The symbol of freedom isnt t
14、he car any more because theres technology out there connecting you to a car.”According to the researchers at the University of Michigan, 30 years ago, eight in ten American 18-year-olds had a drivers license compared to six in ten today. So its not that surprising that on my 16th birthday I wasnt ru
15、shing to get a license but an iPhone.“Driving, for young people, does mean they have to disconnect from their technology, and thats a negative. So if they could sit in the passage side and still be connected, thats going to be a plus.” Schor continued. www. To me, another plus is that ridesharing re
16、presents something, something much bigger than trying to save money. I see it as evidence that people still depend on each other. My generation shares their cars and apartments the way neighbors used to share cups of sugar. For the system to work, some of us still need our own cars. But until I get my own version of the silver Super Beetle, you can find me on Twitter. 5. The American teens like the author, prefer to possess an iPhone as a birthday gift because
